It's only two images.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

It needs a hi-poly model first, and lightning effects (better ones) would really be good.

But one thing at a time :nod:

Actually it's a tapered cylinder, but I agree - subspace doesn't need to get higher-poly. Perhaps another layer of rotaty thingy, tho.... ;7

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

becase you can see the edges of the cylender currently

I have sometimes thought that giveing more controle over subspace would be cool, but that's low on my priorities.

More control would be an excellent idea, I always got the feeling that there wasn't enough made of subspace... it's big and it gets you from A to B but you only ever spend one mission flying in it throughout the entire campaign.

Sorry to veer off-topic of what you guys had already gone off-topic with :D but uhh...

LS, for some reason, I can't see the nebulae inside your test mission 5. Any thing to say about it?

Styxx has already modelled a fix for that, removes the seams. Works really well, too. :)

How late of a build? You said that we needed the 3.28.04 (If memory serves me right) build. I have that one...if you mean REALLY up-to-date build, then I guess I'll have to dl that one when I get back home. In Texas for Spring Break...

A more recent build? I believe it only works with one of the very latest builds (bobs I think).

it works with taylor's new builds as well. You may want to try Taylors builds if you want to make FS2 playable with all teh new stuff :)

This is why the retail FS2 missions need to be all redone with the new Lightspeed nebula.  The original, shown below, is horrific.
